A Dog That Had Been Missing For Six Years Has Finally Been Reunited With His Family

A woman came into the Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC) in late October to surrender a little brown Chihuahua mix called King.

The senior dog, who was 15 years old at the time, was placed in a shelter for the first time. When the animal shelter checked King for a microchip, what would have been a nightmare for most dogs turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

King had a loving family waiting for him almost 1,300 miles away, as it turned out.

The small puppy, on the other hand, had no clue that he was one step closer to returning home. Cherie Wachter, vice president of marketing at HSBC, told The Dodo, “Like most dogs in an unfamiliar situation, he was extremely quiet, timid, and anxious.” “Everyone thought King was really charming.”

King vanished from the Vasquez family’s yard in San Antonio, Texas, six years ago. They distributed posters, advertised on social media, and checked the local shelter on a regular basis without success. Despite this, they clung on King’s collar, hoping that their paths might meet again one day.

The shelter contacted the family and left a message informing them that their long-lost dog had been found and was waiting for them. “Within an hour, they called back, thrilled to discover that King was safe and well,” Wachter added. “Debi and her daughter opted to travel to Florida to pick up King after calling the airlines and learning there were no flights until the end of the week.”

King’s family packed their stuff into the vehicle and travelled almost 19 hours to visit him, and the reunion was all they had hoped for. After six years apart, King was taken aback when his mother stepped into the building.

“I believe King was a little hesitant at first. “A lot of people were watching,” Wachter remarked. “Debi began to cry, and I believe she and her daughter Danae were both surprised to see their dog after six years. They claimed to have never given up hope and even had his collar with them.”

The family proceeded to Dania Beach to see the Atlantic Ocean to enjoy, and King eventually started to relax. For the first time, the small dog seems to understand that his family was not going away this time.

“King was dancing around the beach at the time, and he really started interacting with his family,” Wachter added. “It was incredible to see such a positive improvement in the young man.”
